THE ROLLIBS COLLEGE WIRTER TERM
Scholarly inquiry, creativity, experimentation, exploration -- all are fostered by the lively Winter Term curriculum of Rollins College. January offers faculty and students the opportunity to devote their energies to a single course or project.
Students may choose:
to delve into subjects they've never tried before to dance, act, or play an instrument for the first time to sharpen research skills in the library or the laboratory to explore unusual topics and unconventional ways of learning to put theory into practice through internships to undertake senior projects in preparation for graduate study to take courses involving travel to foreign countries or other
regions of the .United States to exchange places with students from other colleges and
universities to study with visiting professors from universities abroad or
from other American institutions.
Adding to the vitality of the Winter Term are extracurricular activities including plays, films, concerts, special lectures and sporting events.
In the center of the academic year, the Winter Term is an essential part of the Rollins educational experience.

GENERAL IBPORMATION
IEGISTllATIOR PROCEDURE
A combined Winter and Spring Term preregistration will be . held from October 29 through November 6, with the final registration for both terms in the Field House on Saturday, December 1. Students will receive a list of newly opened sections and notification of any alterations to their original schedule. They may then drop and/or add classes for Winter and Spring Terms. Regardless of the nature of the study, students are expected to devote a minimum of 40 hours per week to their academic work. No student may register for more than one course or independent study project during the Winter Term.
GEJIERAL EDUCATION REQUlllEMENTS
Courses which satisfy the general education requirements are designated by the appropriate letters within the course listings and course descriptions. The only general education requirements that can be satisfied during the Winter Term are Composition Reinforcement, designated by the letter "R"; Quantitative Reasoning, designated by the letter "Q"; Knowledge of Other Cultures, designated by the letter "C"; The Natural World, designated by the letter "N"; and Decision Making and Valuation, designated by the letter "V".
12
OFF--cAMPUS STUDIES
Although travel is an attractive feature of off-campus studies, the experience involves much more than sightseeing. Various academic requirements will have to be met, such as preliminary reading and preparation for on~site seminars.
Early registration for off-campus courses is set for October 15-19. Students interested in any of these offerings should contact the instructor and discuss the academic goals, itinerary, and cost of the program. To register, students should pick up a card from the instructor and turn it in at the Registrar's Office. In the event that an off-campus course cannot be conducted, registered students will be notified.
INDEPENDENT STUDIES
Three types of independent study are offered during the Winter Term: tutorials, research projects and internships. Students planning to take an independent study should pick up the appropriate form at the Registrar's Office and consult with the faculty member who will sponsor the project. An independent study requires considerable planning and consultation with the faculty sponsor and, in the case of an internship, with the off-campus supervisor. Students are therefore urged to begin their preparation well in advance of the registration deadline. The completed forms for Winter Term independent studies must be approved by the faculty sponsor's department and fo·rwarded to the Registrar by Wednesday, November 14th.
WillTER TEBH GRADIHG
Courses On Campus
Students receive letter g.rades in Winter Term courses unless they elect to take a course Credit/No Credit or unless evaluation on the basis of Credit/No Credit is specified by the instructor in the course description.
A Winter Term course . taken Credit/No Credit is not counted among the four courses which students may take Credit/No Credit in the regular curriculum, but it must be taken as an elective.
Off-Campus Studies
Instructors may offer Off-Campus Studies on a Credit/No Credit basis or a letter-grad~d basis subject to the approval of the Special Programs Connnittee.
Independent Studies
Students undertaking tutorials and research projects on campus usually receive letter grades.
Off-campus independent studies and internships are evaluated on a Credit/No Credit basis unless approved by the Curriculum Connnittee for a letter grade. It is reconnnended that internships carry no more than one course unit credit.
13
Credit/No Credit
Students must notify the Registrar's Office in writing, no later than one week after the beginning of the Winter Term, that they wish to take a course on a credit basis rather than for a grade. Courses in the major field, except internships, and courses used to fulfill general education requirements may not be taken on a credit basis. No more than one course per term may be so designated, and a maximum of four such courses may count for graduation. A Winter Term course taken on a credit basis is not counted toward the four credit courses which may be taken in the Fall and Spring Terms; however, it must be an elective or an internship. A student may not subsequently receive a grade for a course elected to be taken on a credit basis. Students who earn a C- or better in a course taken for credit receive a mark of CR and the appropriate number of course units. Students earning less than a C- receive a mark of NC. In either case the grade point average is not affected.
ERGIBEEJUHG COU1lSBS AT WASRillGTOB UBIVBRSITY IR ST. LOUIS
Through a cooperative agreement with the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, pre-engineering students at Rollins College have the opportunity to enroll in two-week intensive engineering courses on the Washington University campus. These courses are specifically designed for pre-engineering students attending colleges that participate · in 3-2 agreements with Washington University. They allow students to explore and confirm interests in engineering and to sample the various engineering curricula. They also provide students and faculty the opportunity to verify the student's ability in engineering and applied sciences. Rollins will accept these three-semester-hour courses as equivalent to one Rollins Winter Term course. In addition, the student will earn credit which will make the completion of a degree in engineering at one of the 3-2 cooperative institutions easier. The cost will be for tuition, housing, and meals. The student should also allow for travel expenses and money for incidentals. Students who qualify for this program will receive a refund for that portion of their Rollins tuition which they have paid and a refund for a portion of their board fee. However, since the College must reserve rooms, it is not possible to refund any portion of the Rollins housing charge. Washington University at St. Louis will provide to deserving students a two-thirds tuition remission upon the recommendation of the Rollins Coordinator.
The four courses listed below will be offered for the January Term. Each course will involve three lecture sessions and an independent study or laboratory each day. The student may take only one course during the Winter Term.

JANUARY TERM AT THE UNIVERSITY 01' TEXAS SCHOOL 01' ALLIED HEALTH SCIENCES
Students interested in exploring health careers may participate in the January Term Program in Allied Health Sciences at Galveston (UT-SAHS). In addition to a broad overview of allied health professions the program offers the opportunity to become familiar with allied health conc~pts, ethics in, health care, the team approach to health care delivery and admissions requirements for allied health programs. January Term students participate in regular classes, clinical sessions and laboratories as well as classes and events conducted just for them.
The School of Allied Health Services is a part of the University of Texas Medical Branch, located on Galveston Island. This barrier island, two miles off the Texas mainland, has a mild, semi-tropical climate perfect for yearround outdoor activities.
To be eligible for admission students must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 and some background in the sciences at the college level. Students whd have paid tuition for Rollins Winter Term pay an additional $50 administrative fee to UT-SAHS plus their room and board for the three weeks spent in Texas.
Applications must be received by the University of Texas by December 1. Because total enrollment is limited to twenty, students should plan to apply by November 1. For detailed information and application forms, students should see Dr. Eileen Gregory, Chair of the Health Sciences Advisory Committee.

OFF-cAMPUS STUDIES
A 197-W THE ART ARD ARCHITECTURE OP RENAISSANCE ITALY
Prerequisite: None/ Prof. Robert Lemon/ Office: CO
This course is designed to acquaint students with the history of the beginnings of the modem Western world and its artifacts. Part of that acquaintance will occur through a reading program which focuses attention on the history of politics, philosophy, theology, and cultural concerns; further, students will then be encouraged to utilize that abstract knowledge in the context of the real environments from which the ideas and artifacts grew and are still manifest: in city planning, architecture, sculpture, painting, both as entities and in their manifold interrelationships. The study-tour is predicated on the notion that there is no substitute for first-hand exposure to art. Contact time between students and teacher will average about thirty- · four hours per week; that time will include lectures in the field, seminars in the hotels, and student presentations.
Means for Evaluation: Evaluation of students' work will be based on quality of presentations, three quizzes on the readings, and quality and consistency of participation in group activities.
Class Liai.t: 20
Class Meetings: Jan. 3-31

B 295/395-W TROPICAL HAJllRB BIOLOGY (R)
Prerequisite: Consent/ Prof. David Richard/ Office: Bush 212
Directed field-oriented studies of selected marine systems of the Tropical Pacific. Primary field areas will be , the Great Barrier Reef off_ Australia and fringing reefs and atolls in the Fiji and Cook Island groups. Focus will be on shallow marine ecosystems associated with these reefs, collecting and observing organisms from a variety of associated habitats. Both snorkling and SCUBA may be used in the field study. (While certification for SCUBA is not a
, prerequisite, it is strongly reconnnended, as many outstanding opportunites , will be available in these field locations.) Designed as an introduction to Pacific reefs, the course will emphasize the unique features and origins of these spectacular systems. The primary objective is to develop an understanding of the structure and function of the field areas studied, becoming familiar with the connnon marine organisms present and comparing aspects of the Pacific reefs to those of the Caribbean. The course provides an elective complement to B 394 offered in alternate years
16
Means for Evaluation: Preparation of reading assignments, regular laboratory study and analysis and discussion of the material, occasional oral quizzes, a field notebook and a final integrative report describing and comparing the systems studied.
Class Limit: 12
Class Meetings: Jan. 2 to Feb. 2
Approximate Cost: $3015 (round-trip airfare Los Angeles/Queensland, surface transportation on site , lodging, meals)
The following alternate course will be offered if there is insufficient e•.1rollment for B 295/395 TROPICAL MARINE BIOLOGY OF THE PACIFIC.
B 297/397-W TBOPICAL FIEIJ> BIOLOGY (R)
Prerequisite: Consent/ Prof. David Richard/ Office: BU 212
Directed field-oriented studies in selected terrestrial and aquatic field areas of the American Tropics. Terrestrial emphases include reptiles , birds, insects and dominant flora of the New World tropical rain forests and cloud forests (including cave biology); aquatic habitats include tropical rivers and mangroves, coral reefs and turtle grass flats of the Caribbean. This course should serve major and non-major alike as an introduction to the wildlife and plants of the American tropics; especially suitable for those interested in field biology or environmental studies. Following an initial week of preparatory sessions in the Bush Science Center, the class will participate in daily field activities (8 days in the rain forest, 12 days on the Atlantic barrier reef). Discussion and analysis of collections will follow field studies.
Means for Evaluation: Evaluation is based on written and oral quizzes, field notebooks, a final suunnary report, and the instructor's subjective assessment of each individual's learning experience .

Prerequisite: Consent/ Prof. John Weiss/ Office: PAB 5
In th·e early stages of World War II, the decision was made by the leadership in Nazi Germany to begin the "final solution to the Jewish problem." This eventually led to the mass murder of almost six million Jews and six million non-Jews in the concentration camps of Nazi-held Europe. This decision to liquidate the Jews and other enemies of the Nazi state was the culmination of a long series of actions taken during the decade of the 1930's to begin the isolation, forced movement, and concentration of the Jews living in Germany.
This course focuses on Nazi racial ideology, the governmental decrees which were part of the legal process, and on other considerations that entered into the thinking of the Nazi leadership. We will examine from a sociological perspective those elements of Nazi society and ideology which were part of the process leading to mass murder in the concentration camps. This course also looks at life in the concentration camps themse Ives, and at a wide range of Jewish responses to the treatment they received. Questions of moral and ethical dilellllUlS confronting not only Jews but also all German citizens are included. A basic background on the rise of the Nazi party is included, as is the question of the lessons to be learned from this historical experience with totalitarianism. The power of the state over the individual and individual responsibility for one's action in any society are examined in detail.

Employing relevant topics in economic theory and reasoning, the course will examine the growing assortment of experiments in worker participation such as quality circles, self-directed work terms, bonus plans, profit sharing, worker participation in decision making, employee stock ownership plans, and democratically structured cooperatives. Although we will emphasize historical and current experiments in the U. S., the lectures, readings and class discussions will also consider experiences in Spain (the Mondragon system), Israel (the Kibbutz), Italy (the large cooperative sector), and selected other countries as the interests of the students dictate. Some specific practical difficulties (e.g., financial, technologi~al, organizational, and legal) faced by democratically structured businesses in a private property bas·ed, free market economy will be reviewed in order to evaluate the success of our examples in overcoming them.

E 205-W THE EBGLISB LUIGUAGE ilD THE alMPUTEJl
Prerequisite: CS 150 or CS 160 or consent/ Prof. Steve Phelan/ Office: OR
This course is designed primarily for students with enough computer experience to write analytical and interactive programs for computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in the English language and especially composition.
The course will begin with a two-week intensive survey of basic linguistic theory and the units of language it defines (an abbreviation of English 205 in the regular catalogue). This will involve the rudiments of phonology, 1DOrphology, syntax, and semantics.
For English and education majors the survey should help build an understanding of the theoretical basis of language skills. Then they will be better able to distinguish those which they can enlist the computer to help teach from those which require a teacher's interpretation. For computer science majors this 1110dule should provide a good introduction for later courses in artificial intelligence or computational linguistics.
The second half of the term will be practical, concentrating on the design of programs which improve or expand the current English library program called NDRIV for students with grammar and composition problems. The progra-ing for this course will obviously involve string manipulation, file management for string data, and CAI techniques.
Here is an opportunity to comprehend a theory, to invent technical ways to evaluate elementary features of the English language, and to help others. The programs you produce, if found to be effective, will become a part of the new J writing laboratory at Rollins funded recently by the National Endowment for the Humanities. ·

E 327-V EUDOllA WELTY
Prerequisite: One other literature course and consent/ Prof. Barbara Carson / Office: ·oa 208
Eudora Welty, perhaps the finest writer of fiction in America today, has described her artistic goal this way: "My wish, indeed my continuing passion, would be not to point the finger in judgment but to part a curtain, that in-
45
visible shadow that falls between people, the veil of indifference to each other's presence, each other's wonder, each other's human plight." However, her sense of the wonder of humanity has led her to no Pollyanna-ish vision. Her fictional world is filled with murder, attempted murder, rape, suicide, cruelty and ugliness in people, and harshness in nature. In spite of this, the dominant tone of Welty' s work is a genial affirmation of life. Looking unflinchingly at the dark side of existence, she manages to say Yes to life, to discover good co-existing with evil, to see order in the midst of chaos, to create meaning out of apparent meaninglessness. Robert Penn Warren has said: "It is easy to praise Eudora Welty, but it is not so easy to analyze the elements in her work that make it so easy--and such a deep pleasure--to praise." Through close critical readings of her short stories and novels, we will explore those elements.
Meana for Evaluation: The grade for the course will be based on a detailed journal, reflecting the student's thoughtful responses to the works and to the ideas presented in class, and on class participation.

This course will explore the philosophical, literary and political implications of what came to be known as Existentialism in the essays, novels, and plays of three major French writers. Such "existential" issues as the definition of the individual and his/her relation to others and the problems of freedom, action, and death will be especially emphasized both as genera l problems and in terms of the distinctive, individual formulation of each writer. Since Existentialist ·writers tended to rely heavily (and in spite of Plato) on fiction and theater to disseminate and illustrate their philosophical theses, special attention will be given to the relationship between literature and philosophy, that is, the transformation of philosophical theses when they a r e presented in the context of literary fictions.

H 247-W RACE Ill AHBRICAR HISTORY
Prerequisite: Consent/ Prof. Gary Williams/ Office: PAB 25
To understand doctrines, attitudes, and practices of white racial supremacy in American history, we must trace the development of what one historian has called "the black image in the white mind." This image, which incorporates mental/intellectual, physical/sexual, and moral/spiritual traits, has been the product of numerous attempts, formal and informal, to delineate the "character" of Afro-Americans. White Americans have developed images of other minorities (Indians, and various immigrant and ethnic groups) as well. In this course we will examine, among other topics, the origins of racial images in the colonial era, the relationship between race and slavery from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, "scientific" theories about racial characteristics, the liberal response to racism, and contemporary racial attitudes.
Keane for Evaluation: Course readings will include three paperbacks and perhaps six to eight articles on reserve in the library. Short papers and written homework will be assigned, class participation will be evaluated, and a comprehensive final examination will be given.

Prerequisite: None/ Prof. John Ryan/ Office: PAB
A study of the European exploration and settlement of the interior of the Australian continent and its significance for the outworking of Australia's economic, political, social and cultural history. The application of F.J. Turner's frontier thesis to the Australian context will be considered, but the course will concentrate on the distinctive elements in the Australian theme.
The constellation of ideas, values and attitudes surrounding the 'bush frontier' experience, which, it has been argued, developed a political ideology, a distinctive culture and a national identity will be examined. The historical work around which the course will be built will be that of Russel Ward, developed in his book "The Australian Legend." This will be the basic reference to which all students should have access. Critical assessment of this book will be provided and some comparison with the Turner thesis as it applies to American history will be made at the end of the course. A reading list will be provided and (if possible) a selection of Australian films will be shown to supplement certain topics.

Prerequisite: Good working knowledge of BASIC; experience with another computer language would be useful, but it is not required. Sophomore or above preferred but freshmen may be considered. Consent. / Prof. Robert Carson / Office: BUSH 124
With the explosive growth of microcomputers comes the confusing array of 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit microprocessors; new versions of input/output devices; and various applications software . Our main objective will be to look at microcomputer architecture in general in order to understand both the underlying design logic and the way microprocessors communicate with the external world. Specific hands-on applications of what we learn center on the 6502 microprocessor in the Apple II microcomputer family and the following hardware: the mouse, graphics tablet, digitizer, voice and music synthesizers, sprite graphics board, and joysticks. We will learn the use of applications programs such as animators, voice and music construction sets, and high resolution color graphic designers, all complemented with many utility programs. This course is suitable for science, mathematics, and computer science students.

POLITICS
PO 125-W POLITICS ARD CULTURE IB THE MIDDLE KAST (C)
Prerequisite: None/ Prof. William Spencer/ Office: PAB C4
An introduction to the politics and social organization of the Middle East, including North Africa, studied in its Islamic cultural setting. The course deals with a contiguous group of countries, from Morocco to Pakistan. Their political systems vary but they share a common history, culture and values based on the religion of Islam. The course examines the Islamic cultural heritage and the dilenmas for Islamic peoples caused by 20th-century social and political change. Change is particularly difficult for these peoples since there is no separation between church and state. The impact of change on them will be studied through analysis of specific change agents technology, foreign political control, secular ideologies (e.g. Marxism), Western-model materialism.
The course is organized to emphasize the visual aspect of Islamic culture with extensive use of films and other A/V materials. Objectives are: to introduce students to a foreign culture; to develop students' ability to make valid cross-cultural comparisons and ability to function effectively under a different political system from their own, with some basic understanding of its problems, strengths, and weaknesses.
Means for Evaluation: Two written tests, one or more oral and written reports on particular topics involving problems of Islamic politics.

Prerequisite: PO 160 or consent/ Prof. Thomas D. Lairson/ Office: PAB 22-A
Ronald Reagan is widely regarded as having made major changes in American politics. There are sharply different perspectives on the merits of his policies and their ultimate consequences. We will examine these arguments in four policy areas: economic policy, environmental policy, civil rights policy, and national security and foreign policy. Examples of the questions we will attempt to answer include: Have the tax cuts provided the basis for a return to prosperity or have they bankrupted the federal government in the process of increasing welfare for the rich? Has James Watt removed the shackles from the environment and the resources of America or has he opened the door to environmental devastation? Has equal opportunity really been achieved or has racism been given a new legitimacy? Has American power and security been restored or has a new arms race and a march toward war been started?

Prerequisite: None/ Prof. Richard Foglesong/ Office: PAB 22-B
This course examines the quest for community in contemporary American society. Recognizing the longing many people feel for community, we will explore whether there is any way of conceiving and evaluating community that is relevant to the needs of an advanced industrialized society and - not an attempt to return to the past. To avoid romanticizing community we will ponder its dark side: the limitations on personal freedom, the burdening weight of tradition, and the fettering of the rational self that have been its frequent concomitants. But so too will we consider the forces--political, economic and technological--that have obstructed the realization of co11B11unity and perverted its forms. In examining alternative concepts of community we will consider those emanating from the libertarian right and the socialist left as well as the high technology "electronic cottage" model of community. Course readings will be drawn broadly from the social sciences.

For centuries, students of politics argued that women made bad citizens. They might make good wives and mothers, but they were not suited for political life. Modern times have brought with them a new emphasis on equality--and consequently a new concern with the equality of women. This course will examine the growth of the women's movement in the context of chang i ng perceptions of the nature of women and their place in the community. How does the changing status of women affect the relationship between men and women, parents and children, family and community? Readings on the women's movement, feminist thought, and the history of women will address these questions.

Problem-solving is encountered in numerous courses, particularly in the sciences, and in everyday life. This course examines strategies and approaches used in solving a wide range of problems. By practicing with specific problems, we will work to develop skills such as recognizing and breaking conceptual blocks, generating ideas; selecting criteria for acceptable solutions, representing problems with various models and languages, evaluating and analyzing information and making decisions. Problems will range from rather well-defined puzzles, mind teasers and "word problems" to "open-ended" problems in which values (such as personal problems and design problems) impinge on the problem solving process. Hypothesis testing skills will be developed and applied to a variety of problems. Although · some important concepts in science will be developed, the focus of the course is on processes used in thinking rather than on products of thought in any specific discipline.
